Barefoot Beachfront

Barefoot Beachfront: Mykonos

Overlooking the bay of Kalafatis, this beautiful villa complex certainly has an enviable location. Exposed stonework gives a traditional and rustic feel to the three villas, complemented by wooden pergolas shading outdoor lounges and dining areas. The sprawling terraces with a view to the sea feel like the kind of place you’d drift barefoot from the outdoor kitchen to pool, and from pool to lounger. Come sundown, as the sky streaks pink and purple over the ocean, light the lanterns outside for a bit of romance.

Inside each villa, the sleek white walls keep things cool the traditional way (as well as air conditioning in every room). It’s a haven of boho minimalism in here, with each artfully draped shawl and bespoke rocking chair feeling as though it’s been hand-picked. The stone-built sofas are a nod to Cycladian tradition, and bedrooms are pure white with big windows letting in a sea view.

In terms of location, you’re a stone’s throw from Kalafati Beach with its water sports and crystal clear waters. Here you’ll find a handful of beachside bars and restaurants if you fancy dining out, or make the twenty-minute drive to Mykonos Town for a night of cocktails and fine dining by the sea.
